Let $G$ be a finite group and $\operatorname{nse}(G)$ the set of numbers of elements with the same order in $G$. In this paper, we prove that a finite group $G$ is isomorphic to $M$, where $M$ is one of the Mathieu groups, if and only if the following hold: (1) $|G|=|M|$, (2) $\operatorname{nse}(G)=\operatorname{nse}(M)$.
